Baked Potato with Butter
1972
Baked Potato with Butter presents a common side dish as the subject of a delicately rendered lithographic work from 1972. Oldenburg's treatment elevates this humble food item through careful color work on Hodgkinson paper, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. The work reflects the artist's continued engagement with food as a vehicle for artistic exploration.
